Introduction
• We are pleased to present a draft Strategic Plan for your review.
• The plan defines the vision and strategic directions for the College and will set the course for the next three years.

Strategic Planning Process
In 2016, the College began to develop a new 2017-2020 Strategic Plan. As part of that process the College sought input from Council, staff, key stakeholders, and OTs.

Strategic Planning Process
We wanted to access the profession’s collective knowledge and opinions. We invited registrants to complete an online survey and asked for thoughts around four broad areas:
• biggest challenges for the profession• most important areas of focus for the
College• information about OTs that the public
should be aware of, and• responsiveness of the College to OT
issues
5
Strategic Planning Process
The survey’s 15% response rate represented a cross section of the total OT population of the province with respect to age, gender, voting district and practice area.
Council and senior staff met in October 2016 to review the input and identify planning priorities for the College through 2020.
A Strategic Planning Committee of Council assisted with the drafting of the plan and supporting governance documents.
